1988

Classic game & Jack Daniels had a pretty good game but IMO he will go down as the worst kick that ever pulled on a Saints jumper but still had a decent career

[stevie]

Three weeks later Plugger broke his ankle and our finals hopes were done

Daniels looked like a Brownlow Medallist in this game - apart from his kicking lol

[Harvey To Hayes]

I drove down to Geelong for that one on my learners but luckily Dad drove back so got to drink plenty of beers, one of my fave ever wins because I'd hardly ever seen us win at Kardy Park up until then, I remember Nicky hitting Plugger with one of the greatest passes I've ever seen, good times...

Where’d we finish on the ladder in 1988?

[saynta]

Thanks for posting mate.

My thoughts,

Ablett was a thug.

Daniels wouldn't get a game these days with his shocking kicking, but boy, he could play.

Forgot how good Gotch and Kenny were.

Have a blank when it comes to Evans. Have no recollection of him at all.

Where was Banger?

Ian Muller was a bad loss.

Maggots were just as incompetent back then.

Skills were pretty good considering the state of the ground.

Why do you continually ask irrelevant questions you either know the answer to or can easily find out the answer to?

Yeah I had forgotten how well Brad Gotch could play

[samuraisaint]

Banger didn't debut until later in the season. He debuted against Footscray at the Western Oval in the wet.

Yeah, likewise re: Evans. Was it Glynn Evans? I remember we had someone with a name like that in the 80s.

Just looked it up. Tony Evans. Played 30 games for us before transferring to Footscray

Stone motherless last. Wooden Spooner. 4 wins.

Because you are not allowed to celebrate anything positive when it comes to St Kilda - only languish in our crappiness. Even when we win our next Flag - it will still be "Talk to me when we have a three-peat"

I think you have all missed the nuance of B.M’s rhetorical question. He is drawing your attention to the fact that despite this great win, we finished as wooden spooners again.

Read between the lines fellow Saintsational members.

[B.M]

Correct

We celebrate what Hawthorn thinks is a given

I love StK

But have very little to be positive about… I wasn’t alive in 66

2004-2011 we won as many HA games as any other club. Still didn’t capitalise. And in the process fkd up the following 10 years

[Devilhead]

Tony "Skills" Evans

Was the nic that we afforded him

Moreso cause he showed flashes of not having any

Probably a good guy though

Between 2004-2006 we won more matches than any other club.

Same as the1965-73 era.


I think now that Lyon is returning, we will be a lot more consistent.

I got the point. I just find the question of where we finished on the ladder 35 years ago not relevant at all.
We completely relied on one player in that era and when he was injured, we were useless. It's not a surprise our season plummeted after he was injured.
We are no longer that team.

[mr six o'clock]

In 88 plugger played 8 games . We won two of them .
So I doubt if he stayed fit we would have played finals . Maybe we wouldn't have finished on the bottom .

[B.M]

Going on that we would’ve won 5.5 games

And finished last

Winmar played FF when Tony went down, kicked 40 odd goals.

[SaintPav]

Even though we finished bottom in 1988, we were relatively competitive in the majority of games.

1979-1986 were barren years. A lot worse than 2013 onwards.

It wasn't a great time to be a St Kilda supporter at school

He's respectfully requesting that we only post videos from 1966.

I'd love a video from the 60's . Be worth a fortune since they weren't even invented then.

And YouTube wasn’t invented in 1988 but here we are.

Great games by Daniels, Sheldon, Kourkoumelis and Elphinstone. “Eel” was a very good player in his time.

No surprises that when the game needed to be won it was Lockett and Winmar who produced the magic. Plugger seven goals on an absolute bogmire … what a freak he was.

No surprises either that Greg Burns tried to remove Ablett’s head.

Really good win that. It’s never been easy down there.
